Though TB looks more organised with this addon, I end up with an empty Inbox. Don't know if it's because several accounts go into it already or because I'm using both POP and IMAP accounts. So I had to disable it, to read my mails again. :(

I like the conversation view. Re-arranged accounts view takes getting used to. Does not work with Paranoia. Might add a star when I get more used to it. Wish T-bird had a conversation option, not just threads, which is helpful, but could be improved to show conversations.

Looks beautiful! Very well done.
Too bad, it doesn't integrate with Virtual Identity. So I can't use this add-on's embedded reply feature

Addon helps to organise huge streams of mails but is not compatible with enigmail when you use quick reply. It also does not mark messages as read if you scroll whole thread to bottom.

EXCELLENT idea for an add-on, but quite buggy. 4 stars is a little overrated.
The intuitive UI is a great idea, but every time I respond to a message, it composes in plain text instead of regular old HTML.
An entire step in the setup assistant is devoted to "tweaking settings to make Thunderbird run more smoothly", and I think that detracts from the goal and purpose of the add-on. The name of the add-on is "Conversations". Why the extra crap that messes with Thunderbird?

I like it but Thunderbird stays sluggish with this addon enabled. The last time it froze the message opening. I needed to disable it.

Finally! This should become the default UI for Thunderbird.
The only negative point I can think of is that the default fonts and message view layout look a bit strange, espacially if you zoom in a little with ctrl-+.

Looks great, and is very helpful, however it cancel the ability to add someone to a certain address book from the menu so I had to disable.

Way too much slow and it breaks some features such as navigate to previous/next message (backward/forward in history) and a lot of addons.

Das Feeling in Thunderbird wird durch diese Erweiterung echt verbessert.
Vieles, was sonst bei Thunderbird fehlt, wurde hinzugefügt und auch die Zusammenfassung gewisser Ordner (Posteingang, Entwürfe, Gesendet usw.) ist echt super.
Klar sind einige Dinge nur "Tweaks" an den Einstellungen, allerdings stimmt diese Erweiterung einfach alles aufeinander ab.

It is probably the best extension available. It organizes sent and received e-mails similarly to what is done by Gmail. It also adds a reply box to the message view, allowing a fast to reply e-mails.
It shouldn't be an extension – it should come by default with Thunderbird!

I like the plugin.
But it seem to deactivate the "ctrl+f" in mail ?
Unfortunately, yes. See https://github.com/protz/GMail-Conversation-View/issues/241 for more details.

This should be the default for thunderbird, huge improvement.

This is great when you've grown addicted to gmails approach to email. I only wish they'd give the thread pane an overhaul as well. As of now, with this extensions, the message pane is so much prettier and more user friendly than the rest of thunderbird.

Aesthetics is great. Very usable and stable.
Honourable mention to the gorgeous gallery feature.

Great, it really shows the whole thread in an overview and helps me a lot!!
I'm giving it only four stars because some things may still be improved:
- show contact picture
- allow to send the reply later (it's sending immediately if you use fast reply)
- some issues with text size (even though it's okay for me now, I had some issues before on other computers)
That said, let's not forget that it revolutionizes (replaces) the way the messages are shown so some incompatibilities (eg when using an addin to display contact photos) will be inevitable.

This ... doesn't work for me. I very specifically like Gmail's style of handling threads...mostly because it's most natural for me.
Why does a new message in thread appear at the bottom instead on top?
Why doesn't the Startup Assistant even work?
Why bother telling me to tweak it if I'm really too stupid find out where the Advance menu? I'm sorry I really couldn't find it. This is why harder than jailbreaking an iOS and figuring out how Cydia works.
Why does the font look craptastic? Why does it not let me customise the shit out of the fonts?
Why...oh dang it. I give up.
Don't get me wrong, its a good add-on. A brave attempt that should be commended, just not very friendly FOR ME at this point. I particularly like the the shortcuts, revissed menus, careful though on layout in the reading pane; fantastic.
As I find myself wondering so many why's instead of figuring what's inside the email, I'll keep this under "Interestingly but not usable".

This is a fantastic addon and makes my daily email a pleasure! The one feature I'd really like to see added is the ability to be able to delete email attachments from within conversation view. This doesn't seem possible at present and involves having to first open messages using "view using classic reader". Thanks for the great addon!
Edit: I hadn't noticed this. That's great. Ideally I'd like to see a "delete" option next to the "preview | open | save" commands.
I thought there was the right-click menu (on the attachment icon) that allowed you to do just that?
